London Region Pioneer Day
The London Region Pioneer Days for 2025 will be at Shadwell Activity Centre in
the Docklands. There will be an action packed programme of activities run by
fully trained staff at the centre, including high ropes, climbing and kayaking, bell
boats and raft building. Everyone can get to do at least one water activity and
one other – in practice, we manage four activities during the day.
We are running two activity days, one on 10th May and another on 17th May.
Please note: due to staffing issues, this year the centre will only take 50 children
on each day so please book early – bookings are on a strictly first come, first
served basis.
Payment is expected immediately after booking to confirm your reservation. This
means you cannot cancel, although there be a waiting list, so we can exchange
places. There will be no refunds for children who fail to turn up on the day. The
cost will be £30 per child, accompanying adults are not charged.
The day will start at 10.15 and finish at 5.00. The Centre is close to Wapping
tube station and Shadwell DLR station. There is no parking at the centre. You
will need to bring a packed lunch and children need a change of clothes,
including shoes (they will definitely get very wet).
If you plan to bring any special needs children, please make sure you tell us well
in advance. The centre is very happy to accommodate children with special
needs, but may need to provide extra staff and this cannot be managed at short
notice. Parents etc will not suffice, as they may not have the necessary training
for safe water sports and climbing.
Parents, please book via your district. For further information and bookings,
please contact Belinda Hall on belindashall@aol.com.
